Getting the hard miles before winning the fifth Tour de france.
Froome is alive, and live on instagram. He is getting the hard miles on BKOOL.
It's just some jokes, i would love that he could really finish his career with at least a victory in a stage of the Tour de France.I still has faith on him, but I admit I enjoy the kind of jokes people makes about all around him these years...It iss quite funny and I admit he deserves a little... anyway, I cant wait to see him riding at Rwanda, even if his paper is similar to last year. But I hope a top 20 at least this year.
He got dropped by his teammates in the TTT. Finished 5:21 behind them. Means he was the slowest athlete of all in a very weak field. He only gets worse. Had this one good moment at the Tour where he got 3rd at the stage. But now his level is already so far off that there can be no recovery.I still has faith on him, but I admit I enjoy the kind of jokes people makes about all around him these years...It iss quite funny and I admit he deserves a little... anyway, I cant wait to see him riding at Rwanda, even if his paper is similar to last year.

Honestly it’s tough to see. He should have retired after the crash or at least after that Tour. In a different world, he could have won on the Alpe then retired, similar to Contador and Angliru. This is just like watching a slow motion train wreck and he’s choosing not to hop off. Surely it can’t just be the money. Top athletes always give up money when they retire.He got dropped by his teammates in the TTT. Finished 5:21 behind them. Means he was the slowest athlete of all in a very weak field.

He's been a complete fraud the entire time he's been in the public eye. This is who he is. It's 100% the money, but it's enabled by a total lack of scruples.Honestly it’s tough to see.

2004 Tour de France saw US Postal winning TTT. Benjamin Noval got dropped and was last one who got credited with a time, however there was Eddy Seigneur who finished outside the time limit.I wonder has anyone ever been on the winning team at a TTT but at the same time finished last individually? Froome came close to achieving it today. Simultaneously his best result and his worst result since his comeback.
Why a mand Who Will be fightern for GC has to give everythibng in an TTT if doesnt count for GC? I have just whached the TTT and he was working hard the first part, helping the team to be second. He has been working , his team was second yesterday, today win, and he hasnt lost time...so nothing bad to say....Tomorrow is a harder stage. If he lose lot of time people can critizy...but no nowWTF. surely he had a crash right? right?
Good lord. There's copium & then theres whatever the hell this is https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.co...ith-israel-premier-tech-in-first-race-of-2024
Apparently the TTT don't count for GC. So lets hope for his sake he just took a ten mile TT very casually.
